Breathless - A Dramatic Cantata

Jump to reviews or comments

A dramatic portrayal chronicling the emotional meltdown of a singer during a dress rehearsal for a concert recital. This new music-infused production by Behsat Ahmet stars Ferdi as The Singer and is an intimate, provocative, intriguing study of a performer’s life. Set in an anonymous rehearsal studio, the full spectrum of The Singer's repertoire, from Henry Purcell to Massive Attack, inadvertently highlights The Singer's emotional state which threatens to veer out of control at any moment. From bursts of high drama to moments of stillness, wordless language and silence, will The Singer's voice ever be heard? Ages 18+.
